Common questions
What to do before calling a plumber?
Before calling, try to find the water shut-off valve. This stops further leaks and damage. Turn off the valve if you can do so safely. This small step can make a big difference in repair costs and complexity.
What is the best way to find a plumber?
Look for a plumber who is licensed and insured in the District of Columbia. Check if they have experience with the specific problem you're having. A good plumber will be clear about what they will do and how much it might cost.
What is the 135 rule in plumbing?
The '135 rule' isn't a standard plumbing term. It might refer to a specific local code or a contractor's internal policy. Always ask your plumber to explain any rules or codes they mention so you fully understand.
How much should a plumber be per hour?
Plumber rates can vary based on many factors. This includes the time of day, the complexity of the job, and the specific company. The best approach is to get a free quote over the phone to understand potential costs.
What is the most common plumbing service call?
Leaking faucets and running toilets are very common calls. Clogged drains are also frequent issues. These problems can waste water and cause damage if not addressed quickly. We can help with these everyday plumbing headaches.
